Show Notes
OUTLANDISHLY HOT TAKES HAS ARRIVED We’re kicking off a brand new interview series, Outlandishly Hot Takes, where we sit down with some of our favourite people from the Outlander universe – from cast and creators to superfans, comedians and internet personalities – to unpack their hottest takes, wildest theories and deepest Fraser obsessions.
And who better to launch the series than the hilarious Tim Collins?
If you’ve been anywhere near Outlander TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve almost certainly seen Tim’s iconic videos about accidentally making Outlander his entire personality, including his legendary Claire Fraser impression that even Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan shared themselves. In this episode we chat about:
Tim’s unexpected descent into the world of kilts, time travel and Jamie Fraser First-time Outlander reactions The magic of the fandom The female gaze Our hottest hot takes And whether Tim is officially one of us… (Spoiler: he absolutely is.)
A quick note: We actually recorded this interview back in May, long before we knew we’d be heading to LandCon! So you’ll hear us enthusiastically manifesting an invitation throughout the episode… and somehow, the universe delivered. Consider this your reminder that the woo-woo works. We hope you love the very first Outlandishly Hot Takes as much as we loved recording it! Follow us on Instagram: @thatsoutlandishlyhot2.0 Bonus episodes, fictional man spirals and extra chaos, sign up to our Patreon. If you enjoy the show, we’d be forever grateful if you could leave us a rating and review - it really helps other Outlander fans find us! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
